Asked By:Vero9ca in United Kingdom, GB

I am 5 and a half week post op from my BA. The problem is that the skin next to my incision seems to be irritated (look at photos). It is all read, clear/yellow fluid are coming out of my skin and it have started hurting a bit. I have orderd silicone tape and it will arrive on Monday. Right now I am using micropore. Should I stop wearing it? Or do you have any other advice?
